Adaptive fuzzy approach for H∞ temperature tracking control of continuous stirred tank reactors

Abstract In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy temperature controller is proposed for a class of continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTRs) based on input–output feedback linearization. Since for control implementation concentrations of all species are needed, based on the observability concept, a fuzzy logic system is used to estimate the concentration dependent terms and other unknown system parameters in the control law, using temperature measurements. It has been shown that the H ∞ tracking control performance with a prescribed attenuation level is achieved, by using the proposed controller. Finally the effectiveness of the proposed controller has been demonstrated by applying it to a benchmark chemical reactor through computer simulation.
